ENG: Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was one of the most influential German-language novelists of the 20th century, whose works are now regarded existential classics. Kafka was born to middle class German-speaking Jewish parents in Prague, Bohemia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1917, Kafka began to suffer from tuberculosis. He died in sanatorium in Kierling near Vienna on 3 June 1924. His body was ultimately brought back to Prague where he was buried on 11 June 1924, in the New Jewish Cemetery (sector 21, row 14, plot 33) in Prague-Žižkov. When Kafka died he requested that his friend Max Brod destroy any of his unpublished works. However Brod ignored this and instead published famous works - The Trial, Amerika and The Castle.
The grave is located on functional Jewish cemetery. The visit is possible in the opening hours of the cemetery, is always closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays.
